cubicles is be a web-based zero-barrier group messaging and chat application including communication visualization tools and many administrative options.
Conversation participants do not need to register or login, allowing for instant participation. The design is straight forward and clean but yet easily customizable. It consumes little bandwith in order to be usable world-wide, including in regions with connectivity problems.
Users can exchange text messages, images, files, poll responses, and make themselves visible through webcam snapshots.
Visualization plugins provide live impressions of conversations to a wider audience, e.g. by feeds, quotes, word clouds or localization of statements on a map.
It was created for the use in interconnected class room situations and for the use on conferences and expositions but works in virtually any group communication situation. cubicles is especially aimed at young and IT-inexperienced users.
